APRIL 27, 1968 (SATURDAY) – ATLANTA, GA – WQXI STUDIOS (Paul Jones – Promoter / Georgia Championship Wrestling) > Johnny Walker & Jim Wilson defeated Tony Nero & Oki Shikina > The Big O (1) defeated Dick Steinborn > Bobby Hart defeated El Mongol by disqualification / Notes: This was for the “Live Atlanta Wrestling” television program hosted by Ed Capral. Gentleman X (1) managed the Big O & El Mongol. Following his match with the Big O, Dick Steinborn announced to Capral that he believed the masked man was Bob Orton. Gentleman X said that the Big O would unmask and reveal his identity after he defeated all the masked men in Georgia. Capral responded that he would have his hands full in trying to defeat Mr. Wrestling. X replied that O had already defeated Mr. Wrestling years ago in Kansas City when he was wrestling under his real name of Tim Woods. Paul Jones announced that Jack Crawford had visited him during the week, and was on crutches, claiming he had been in an automobile accident, which seemed ironic since Gentleman X walked with a limp.
